Love Syndrome (Day/Itt) - Book 1 (Authorized English Translation)

Chapter 42 🔞

"Heh," Day chuckled lightly.

"What's so funny?" Itt asked in a raspy voice.

"Are you mentally ill?" Day asked.

"It's because of you," Itt argued back immediately.

"Are you sure you want me to treat you like I did before?" Day asked in a low voice.

"Well... not like how you were when we first met. I don't want things to be like that again," Itt replied hesitantly.

"You're asking a lot," Day said back. Itt frowned.

"Oh, if I'm asking for so much, you don't have to do as I ask," Itt said in an annoyed tone. Day remained silent.

//You know, I should just run away to a foreign country so that you can't find me. // Itt mutters softly before feeling Day's embrace tighten.

"Ouch... That hurts. Are you trying to hug me so tight that you break my bones?" Itt said while struggling to break free.

"Are you still thinking about running away from me, Itt?" Day asked in a deep voice.

"No, I'm just venting," Itt said back.

"Don't even think about it. Don't say that out loud for me to hear. If you run away from me again, I'm going to burn down your house along with your parent's shop," Day said in a smooth voice.

"Ah, you're such a bad guy. Are you really going to burn down my house along with my father's shop?" Itt asked back immediately.

"If you don't want me to burn them down, then don't run away from me again. Do you understand?" Day warned in a deep voice. Itt wrinkled his nose a bit before burying his face against Day's cheat.

"I understand," Itt said in a muffled voice. They share body each until they both no longer feel the coolness of the air. Itt didn't think men's bodies together like this could give off this much heat.

"Day," Itt called out to the other party after being silent for a whole. Day was not asleep. He was gradually tightening his embrace around Itt.

"What?" Day responded.

"You still haven't answered my question yet," Itt said, demanding an answer regarding what they talked about while sitting outside before Day took a shower.

"Do you still remember what you asked? At first, you acted like you had forgotten," Day said.

"Who forgot? I asked you. You acted like you didn't want to answer, so I didn't pressure you with any more questions," Itt said back.

"You didn't want to ask anymore questions? So, why are you asking them now?" Day said back.

"Day, why are you being so annoying right now?" Itt yelled back.

"I'm just teasing you," Day said, causing a Itt to pause a moment without saying anything.

"Seriously, do you really only notice the bad shit I do, all the time?" Day asked.

"What are you talking about? I can't read your mind. Tell me," Itt said after a moment.

"Honestly, these days, I take better care of you than my brother. You don't know why I'm willing to leave my brother by himself to stay with you? You don't understand why I do this, do you? When you want something to eat, I get it for you. When you want to go somewhere, I take you. When you're talking back or scolding me, I always end up doing what you want. Can't you see why I do this?" Day spoke out in a series of sentences. Itt's heart was beating fast. In his heart, he already knew this, but his mind wouldn't allow him to go there.
